::Missing Teeth::

**I stole this picture from Bryson's mom's blog. Thanks Chandra**

Bryson lost his one front tooth a while ago and I guess yesterday lost the other one. (Go to http://chandidaclan.blogspot.com/ to see the whole story)

Whaoo for the toothless wonder! Love ya Scooby!

::Girls in my Circle::

I got this in an e-mail and loved it so I wanted to post it here to b/c I consider all of you (who ever reads this blog!) part of my circle and love you all!


GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE

When I was little,
I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,
And then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up, God would show you the best in many friends.

One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.
Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.

One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'
Another, 'Let's fight together,'
Another, 'Let's walk away together.'

One friend will meet your spiritual need,
Another your shoe fetish,
Another your love for movies,
Another will be with you in your season of confusion,
Another will be your clarifier,
Another the wind beneath your wings.

But whatever their assignment in your life,
On whatever the occasion,
On whatever the day,
Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,
Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself .
Those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several..
One from 7th grade,
One from high school,
Several from the college years,
a couple from old jobs,
On some days your mother,
On some days your neighbor,
On others, your sisters,
And on some days, your daughters.

::Bryson and Kira::

So we had such a fun night last night. Bryson's mom let me watch her super cute (almost) 2 year old Kira. It is always so fun to have her with us and watch her and Bryson play together. They are going to be best friends (well they already pretty much are!!) I just love watching her and we always have fun when she is with us.

Last night we just went to dinner with my mom and then came home and watched Kung Fu Panda (love that movie). Her and Bryson played some computer games and at one point Bryson brought Sherman (the lizard) out to play with us and Kira LOVED it. (That's right Chan you may have to buy a reptile since both kids love them, ha ha ha). She was so funny with the lizard, Bryson was holding him so carefully (something to understand is Sherman is Bryson's baby, Bryson always says to me "I am Sherman's dad and I need to take care of him.") so needless to say he is very protective of Sherman, well Kira was squeezing him, laughing, holding him by his head, and just thinking the whole thing was so funny. I was laughing so hard b/c Bryson has this major look of panic on his face like "OMG she is going to kill him" after that Bryson took Sherman upstairs and put him away and told Kira he wasn't ever coming out again when she was around, it was so funny.

All in all we had such a fun night spending some time with Kira and can't wait till she can come back to visit us! (Hint hint Chan!)

Thanks to Kira for coming to play and for her mom for letting her. To see Bryson and his cute sister go to Chandra, Bryson and Kira blog (hope you don't mind Chandra!)

::The Campout::

Well, it's official Jeremy and I are CRAZY! We camped out at the University for the UTAH vs. BYU game tickets. Jeremy got up to the stadium at about noon on Friday, I got up there after work about 6 pm with dinner and we hung out with other crazy Ute fans for tickets. The good news is we did get our tickets and also got tickets for Jeremy's best friend Josh who will be coming in from St. Louis for the game and Josh's brother Mikey.

It will be a great time for all! If anyone wants to join out tailgate party we will be at the U on Saturday November 22, 2008 at noon for some food, drinks, fun and then the game at 4!

GO UTAH!! BCS HERE WE COME

Jeremy setting up our camp
Here was our Friday night haven!
It was freezing...

...for both of us

But this was our life saver!

Here we are at 5 am, just woke up and looking so HOTT!

Here we are at 8 am waiting for our turn to get tickets, it took us about an hour once the ticket office opened at 8 to get our tickets.

I don't know that I would do this again (Jeremy says in 2 years I will be, but I say in 2 years we BETTER have season tickets) but it was a very fun adventure!

::The Blackout::

So, The Utes pulled it off last night. I can't believe it! I was so happy and so excited at the end of the game that they did win. During the game I hated them all and was so pissed off thinking they were throwing their winning streak away on a team that also beat BYU, we couldn't let that happen!

It was a great game (at the end) and so much fun. It was so cold and that was the only problem with the game. It was awesome to see 45,666 Ute fans in all black, you should have seen the stadium it looked awesome.

BYU here we come!

In case you are wondering that is what I will be doing tonight. I will be off work at 3:30 pm and I will be heading up to the stadium to meet Jeremy to get our BYU tickets, yes we are camping out until 8 am Saturday morning wish me luck!!!

I will keep you posted on the quest for tickets just wanted you all to know the Utes are still undefeated 10-0!!!!

::Marley::

Well, when I was putting our Halloween pics on our computer I had taken some of our little Marley and realized that he is not so little any more.


The first picture is of him the first day we brought him home on August 2nd and the 2nd picture is of him on Halloween day October 31st


*A small side note about his costume, we registered him with the American Kennel Club and his full name is Boxcar (for his dad) Bob Marley so we dressed him up as Bob Marley for Halloween! He sure did hate this hat.

::Our Halloween::

Well, our Halloween was uneventful but fun! We started our morning at Bryson's school taking his class their Halloween treats and then waiting to watch his parade. It was really fun to see all the fun costumes that kids and parents come up with!
Later that day we picked him up and went to Jeremy's parents house so that they could see Bryson's costume and we could chat with them for a little while. It was fun to see them and spend some time with them. We sent Bryson up to their house alone to pretend to be just any trick or treater and he scared Jeremy's mom to death! He had a good time!

We then headed over to my parents and he did a little bit of trick or treating there. When I say a little bit I mean we went to 6 houses and he was done, all he wanted to do was go back to my parents and watch TV. Ha ha ha I think he is the only kid on Halloween that wanted to watch TV. Once we were done at my parents Jeremy took Bryson to meet his mom and we had the rest of the night to ourselves! We went out to dinner with my family to TGI Friday's and we decided this was the only Friday night ever that we could go to dinner at 7:30 pm and not have to wait. It was fun! After dinner we just headed home and hung out.

On Saturday I was so over Halloween I made Jeremy help me take down all the Halloween decorations and lights so that we can move on! I am waiting for November 28th so that I can put up all of my Christmas stuff. We have so many Christmas decorations and I can't wait to use them all.

Well, that was our uneventful night!!!
